Integrated product development platform

Autodesk Fusion

The first and only platform that unifies CAD, CAM, CAE, PCB and data management in a single cloud-based environment. Formerly known as Fusion 360, it connects design, engineering, electronics and manufacturing in one continuous workflow — from concept to finished part.

Overview

One platform, the entire development cycle

Instead of jumping between disconnected software, Autodesk Fusion brings mechanical design, simulation, electronics, CNC programming and data management into a single platform. Data is centralized in the cloud, enabling remote work, real-time collaboration and automatic versioning — with no lost files and no rework.

Five disciplines, one environment

CAD, CAM, CAE, PCB and PDM integrated

CAD — 3D Design

Parametric, direct and freeform modeling (T-Splines), surfaces, sheet metal and assemblies. Associative 2D drawings and history-based or history-free modeling.

CAM — Manufacturing

CNC programming for 2- to 5-axis milling, turning, turn-mill, engraving and cutting. Collision-free G-code generation with full machine simulation.

CAE — Simulation

Static structural, modal, thermal, fatigue and buckling analysis. Topology optimization and nonlinear event studies to validate the product before manufacturing.

PCB — Electronics

Schematic and printed circuit board design integrated with 3D. Electromechanical synchronization between the board and the enclosure that houses it, inheriting EAGLE technology.

PDM — Data management

Integrated product data management with automatic versioning, revision control and a complete history of every file, always in the cloud.

Cloud collaboration

Multiple people working on the same project at the same time, with comments, markups and secure sharing — wherever the team is located.

Key features

Capabilities that cover the entire project

Parametric and direct modeling

Switch between history-based parametric modeling and history-free direct editing, adapting to the type of project and the source of the data.

Generative design

Define loads, constraints and materials and let the software generate dozens of optimized geometry alternatives, ready for traditional or additive manufacturing.

Additive manufacturing

Prepare models for 3D printing with automatic part orientation, associative support structures and export to the main formats.

Sheet metal

Dedicated environment for sheet metal parts, with bend rules, automatic unfolding and generation of flat patterns ready for cutting.

Integrated simulation

Structural, thermal, modal and fatigue studies without leaving the design environment, with automatic mesh refinement and material libraries.

Rendering and animation

Photorealistic images in the cloud or locally, plus assembly and exploded-view animations for presentations, manuals and design validation.

2D technical drawings

Generation of manufacturing drawings associative to the 3D model, with dimensions, tolerances, bill of materials and automatic updates on every revision.

File compatibility

Import and export of more than 100 CAD formats, including STEP, IGES, SOLIDWORKS, Inventor, CATIA and STL/OBJ meshes.

Extensions

Expand the platform as your needs grow

Extensions are add-on modules activated flexibly, unlocking advanced capabilities without switching software. You pay only for what you need, when you need it.

Manufacturing Extension

Advanced manufacturing capabilities: high-level subtractive CNC machining, additional toolpath and turn-mill strategies, probing, sheet nesting and metal additive manufacturing.

Product Design Extension

Advanced product design tools that automate the creation of complex geometry such as lattice structures and algorithm-driven patterns.

Simulation Extension

Advanced simulation studies to explore product behavior under heat, stress and other conditions before physical manufacturing.

Signal Integrity Extension

Analysis of signal quality and high-frequency behavior directly in the PCB design, validating critical electronic functions and ensuring reliable layouts.

Data Management Extension

Cloud-based product lifecycle management (PLM), connecting data, processes and teams in real time for greater transparency and secure collaboration.

Extension ecosystem

The extension catalog evolves constantly. Our team helps identify exactly which modules make sense for your workflow and budget.

Applications

For every type of team and product

Product design and consumer goods

From concept to digital prototype with freeform modeling, realistic rendering and simulation-driven validation before investing in tooling.

Manufacturing and job shops

Unified CAD and CAM for shops that design and machine, with integrated CNC programming and collision-free code in a single workflow.

Electronics and connected devices

Development of products that integrate mechanics and electronics, with PCB design synchronized to the 3D enclosure in the same environment.
